Opinions

GRANLUND CARTOON: Mideast peace and West Bank settlements.

O'MAHONEY CARTOON: End of the recession.

EDITORIAL: Political cash flows from secret donors -- Political commercials are running back to back to back on TV. New candidate flyers clog the mail every day, and it's still more than a month before the election. Who's paying for all this?

CHERYL MILLER: Where goes the Tea Party road? -- Contrary to innuendo and the smears of biased reporting, the grassroots Tea Party garners support from virtually every socio-economic class and religious persuasion.

AMY GEHRT: Feeding Americans their vegetables -- The number of vegetables that are consumed has actually gone down. For example, 10 percent of restaurant-goers in 1989 ordered a salad as a main course. Today, that number has been cut in half, to a scant 5 percent.
